Replanting and Getting Ready for
Second Crop.
The truck growers are busy replanting
their crops after the hard freeze last
week. The damage has not been at all
over-estimated, and will foot up high In
the thousands. Charleston estimates that
the loss to South Carolina truck growers
will be not less than 100000. Savannah
truckers regard that as a high estimate.
The loss here will be considerably less
The greatest damage was on the farms
south of the city and back from The river.
The farms west OF the city partly
escaped.
The pea crop, which was just about
ready to be shipped when the freeze came,
will not turn out over half a crop. Ship
ments are being made but they will not
yield very large returns. The maturing OF
the fruit and berry crops will also be de-
layed. There were few strawberries in
market yesterday and the few that were
brought in sold at 40c. The dealers say
that they expect plenty IN to-day and by
the end OF the week the price will drop
down to CSC.

DEPUTY MARSHAL PALMER.
The Jury's Verdict That He Was
Guilty of Extortion Set Aside.

The Jury'S Verdict That He Was
Guilty of Extortion Set Aside.
The motion for a new trial for Harry
Palmer, exUnted States Deputy Mar
shall, convicted of extortion under color
Of his office, came up before Judge Emory
Speer yesterday morning.
Capt. Falligant opened the argument in
speech OF two hours length. After an
able argument by Dir. Query, the United
states District Attorney, MIR. Saussy was
proceeding To reply wnen the court stopped
him and said that it would not trouble the
counsel to argue the matter further, and
stated that after mature cOnsd-
GRAFTON he had concluded that
the evidence was not sufficient
to satisfy the mind that the defendant
was guilty OF extOrtion. His honor re-
ferred 10 the fact that this was the court
OF last resort, and stated that ii the de-
tendant had an appeal the whole question
might be RENTED 10 the appellate tribu-
nal. ''The trouble with the case" said
his honor, lis that while the defendant
made false and fraudulent pretense, by
which he attempted to put an unlawful
favor which he untruly pretended to have
done Joseph Scarlett, against his obliga-
ton to repay Joseph Scarlett's brother, the
money which he had borrowed. | am not
ear that was extensively done. His
Otfense is detestaDle enough, but l
am not clear that it is eXtortlon.
There was no warrant and no ability on
his part to arrest Scarlet. or to carry out
his covert threats. His whole conduct
was one stupeDdous falsehood. There
were no errors committed on the trial
which would justify the court in setting
the verdict aside. l. am simply not salts
fed that the crime was committed as
charged.
For that reason the verdict will be set
aside and a new trial ordered, and the de-
tendant discharged on his own recog-
niZance.
This proceeding will not vacate the Or
der By which Palmer was removed from
his office as Deputy Marshal, as his con-
duct WAS thought by the court to be suf-
hCiently improper to cause his dismissal.
